Sir Patrick Henry Dean, GCMG (16 March 1909 – 5 November 1994) was Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations from 1960 to 1964 and British Ambassador to the United States from 1965 to 1969. He was also a Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee.
Patrick Henry Dean was born in Berlin, Germany to Henry Roy Dean, (1879–1961), a professor of Pathology at the University of Cambridge, and his wife, Irene Wilson (1875–1959), the daughter of Charles Arthur Wilson. Henry Roy Dean was a member of the MacCormac family and was the maternal grandson of Dr Henry MacCormac and the nephew of Sir William MacCormac. After education at Cambridge,he was called to the Bar by Lincoln's Inn, and he attempted to secure a career at the Bar in London, but was unsuccessful, and as a result he joined the Civil Service . As so many unsuccessful barristers do, he became a legal adviser to the Foreign office, and was apparently successful in this, and at a late stage in his career became British Ambassador to Washington.
